Leica Summilux-M 35 f/1.4… Steel Rim Classic Line

Special character and individuality

Release November 2022

Small and light, with colourful flare and softness and blur when used wide open. As Leica would have it, ‘the true king of bokeh’… But once you stop down past f2.8 towards f5.6, the sharpness is back with almost no distortion.

As the world's fastest wide-angle lens, the Leica Summilux-M 35 f/1.4 set the photographic benchmark in 1961. Today it continues to inspire with its exceptional images. Especially shots at open aperture fascinate with their individual, almost fairy-tale look, which is really difficult to achieve through digital editing. A distinctive bokeh and vignetting at maximum aperture, got the Summilux-M 35 f/1.4 its title as the "true king of bokeh". Photographing at open aperture in backlit conditions creates intended lens flares that can be used for specific creative effects.
